My Evaluation From My Students

     Tomorrow we will start our LAST week of our student teaching practicum and I can't believe how fast it went by. I am so sad to think that I will be leaving my students already but I am happy about how well everything has gone over the past four weeks. I have had two formal evaluations by my supervisor from our university as well as two evaluations by each of my cooperating teachers and they have all gone wonderfully! I am happy to say that I received some great feedback as well as gaining some wonderful references for my resume.

     As much as I appreciate all of the feedback from these evaluations, however, I really wanted to know what my students actually thought of my teaching. Not only did I wonder about their general thoughts, but I also had some questions about whether I was accomplishing what I had laid out in my teaching philosophy. So I decided to put together a quick review that my students had the option of anonymously completing while I was out of the room. Some were rating questions (on a scale of 1-10) while some asked for a written answer.

     When I got the reviews back I was so happy!! Here are some of the answers I received:









To me, these types of evaluations are much more meaningful than the formal ones I receive. This is why I love being a teacher :)
